Here's the most remarkable thing you
have read for some time. We've got too
many odd suits and overcoats. They are
to be sold for less than cost. They must
get out Of the way before our Spring goods
arrive. We told our clerks we must get
rid of them. The new prices on these goods
are enough to daze us, but they must be
sold as we haven't the room TO keep them.

worth of goods were sold this year a
score of traders snapped
BEADS AND BLANKETS
with the Indians for furs and food to
eat. On the very spot where last week
200 men and women sang to delighted
thousands the operas of the masters,
was one huge rocky cliff, where blue
jays plumed their feathers under the
December sun and screamed to their
mates, and no one save their mates was
there to hear them. All these changes
have been made, you business man,
since you hung up your stocking in some
Eastern town scarce thirty years ago.
Is this a miracle? Have there been
genii and ancient gods out here. Has
an enchanter been passing along this
way with his wand? You may call it so.
st. Paul holds the key to narrow
pass between two empires. The one
lies to the east and is rich in all that
modern civilization has fashioned for
its pleasure or its use. The other lies
to the west, boundless, almost, and
stored with all the gifts that the Al
mighty God saw fit to lavish on His own
garden spot when He made the world.
1t was inevitable, as the affairs of men
are carried on, that at the common
point where these two empires touch
there should be giant city. The swift

other, and the equally swift

extension of the Manitoba system into
Montana, the new extensions and
feeders to the West, North and South of
the Manitoba, Northern Pacific, Omaha
and Milwaukee systems have brought
nearer the demand of Washington ter
ritory, Oregon, Northern Idaho, Mon
tana, Dakota and Iowa, and Northeast
ern Nebraska, and the Sault Ste. Marie,
and other lines have created a
vigorous market in Northeastern
Minnesota and Northern Wis
cOnsin. The rates into st. Paul
up to April, and since Aug. 1 have ena-
bled the jobber to get his big bulk ship

his customers quicker and cheaper.
A glance at the railroad map will
show what advantages the st. Paul
jObber has enjoyed over every possible,
or impossible, competitor. Branching
out
IN ALL DIRECTIONS,
this only really Northwestern railway
system has made phenomenal strides in
transportation development during
1857, and has dotted the surrounding
country with little trade depots, Great
ing new markets which could not have

with low rates into this city, what

in the exchanges here. st. Paul is the
center of the exchange point between
the East and West. And while you look
at these facts, look at the results on the
city itself. The solidity of the East,
coupled with the push and activity Of
the West, is here. No city that has
grown so quickly is so firmly estab-
lished. There is not one weak timber
in the whole structure of the city.

acres of prairies yet undeveloped. Mill

so long as the harvests last: so long as
the world eats bread and builds houses;
so long as the Northwest lies where it
does, just SO long will st. Paul be a
necessity; growing not only in its own
limits, but in the part it plays as the
key to the door between the empires.
Other cities may claim the position
st. Paul holds. All that mans iDge-
nuity and mans money can do will be
done to give to other points the vantage
that this city holds. Chicago feels the
growing strength of the Northern giant,
and cannot hide its feelings. Other
cities, enterprising and solid, but lack
ing the geographical position that so
largely makes st. Paul what it is, are
envious and ambitious; but their rivalry
is more a benefit than hurt. and
st. Paul has no fears of them.

responses have made st, Paul. She is
the tOllkeeper on the bridge that spans
the continent. The country which has
come within the last decade to be known
to the outside world as 1.-THE Golden
Northwest is behind st. Paul. So
long as the fruits of that empire-its
millions of bushels of wheat and other
grains, its mountains of rich mineral
ores and its foreSts-are needed by the
empire that lies to the East, so long will
st. Paul's
GOLFERS BE ENRICHED.
Look at the facts which are presented
this morning on the growth of st. Paul
for one year. Look at the causes that
have made this growth not only posi-
bility but necessity. A score of rail-
roads radiate from this city like the films
of spider web. 1t is their business to
carry to the country which they tap
whatever the country wants. st. Paul
is the point where the exchanges must
be made. 1t is the center point, where
all these roads unload and load over
again their thousand cargoes. Look at
the number of men who have made their
homes here within five years. They
came because they were needed to help
in this mighty transfer of the commOdi-
ties of empires. Look at the millions
of dollars that have been placed here in
manufacturing enterprises. 1t came
because nowhere else could so
large supplies be made at such figure
as to return such profits to the maker.

Look here, you man of forty-fve
years, who have been working hard
since first you saw your teens. have you
lived long? Will you aaAi. y0u are not
still young? How many years ago does
it seem since you hung up your stocking
on Christmas morning? 1t seems but
yesterday. OF course it seems so. Since
that time this city had its birth. When
you were pulling from your stocking
your Christmas gifts, where this fair city
stands the red men were starting their
fires in their wigwams, or Stringing
their bows to be off for the morning
hunt. Upon the hill where now are
solid homes, furnished with all that
wealth can buy, there were trees and
Indian huts, with now and then a dog
to scare off wolves. Down town, where
solid squares of business blocks now
stand, there was a marshy bog, where
bull-frogs croaked and the wind whistled
through swamp elders and cat-tail flags.
Over on Dayton's bluff, where electric
lights are thickest now, more Indians
camped. A part of West st. Paul, where
$4,000 thriving people live. was then
counted as the Mississippi's bed; the
rest was woods and swamps. Within
the limits of that city which last year
spent 81, 100000 for buildings that will
last for centuries, two or three log huts
and few bark tepeeS that a good wind
would scatter were the only signs of i'm
proyement. Where now 800 railroad trains

to over 500, 1000, 600 for 1887, an average
increase of 25 per cent over 1886.
Rapid railroad developments have
added thousands and thousands of
square miles to the area included within
st. Paul's commercial scope. This new
territory, which has always been tribu-
tary to st. Paul on account of this city's
geographical position and its CONNER
cial relations with the Northwest, yet,
until recently, it has been alienated from
st. Paul's business interests for lack of
necessary railroad communications.

A New Treaty.

WINNIPEG, Aug. H. Hon. Mr..
Thompson, Canadian minis,er OF JUS
tice, arrived here yesterday from Otta-
wa on his way to the Pacific coast. In
view of the Importance OF an extradi-
tion treaty, as illustrated 10y the recent
Mc0arigle escape, Il reporter ques-
toned Mr.. Thompson regarding the
possibility of a new treaty. Mr..
Thompson said:
"rhe henegotiations between Canada and
the United States h;tv.' ,s..pp...i be-
cause of the action Dl tna american
senate in rejecting the notifications in
the treaty. We believe that there is a
general feeling in the United States in
favor of an enlarged arrangement with
Canada. President Cleveland strongly
shares in this feeling, but the United
States senate took il upon itself to
terminate the negotiations by its un-
expected stand, probably to prevent
the democratic party ir.'m enjoying
the credit OF bringing about such a
salutary international Arrangement.

cided to summon more witnesses.
Station Agent Mason, of Piper City,
and road master Ennis will be exam

to see if the blame can not be attached
to Mason, whose attention was called
to the fire on the track early OH the
night of the disaster. The jury also
wants to inquire about Ennis's order
before censuring Coughlin.
The jury is evenly divided on the
form of verdict. ID. Shaw, farmer; w.

farmer, wants to bring verdict that
seventy-s, ven persons came to their
death by accident, caused by burned

At tho Battle of Gettysburg.

Very few civilians can rid their minds,
even when they knew better, of the idea
that any one present Mt battle must see
the whole or large part Of it, or ut the
least very large amount of smoke and
fighting. 1t is marvellous how very little
any one individual sees of any one given
battle, though he may be in the very thick
OF the fighting, or even ut the lleadquar-
ters of the commander in chief l real
ized that fully on the present occasion,
for although standing on one of the most
advantageous spots to witness portion
of the fight, with the valley and town of
Gettysburg lying below me and the
heights beyond in full view, reflected
that our line was twelve miles in length,
of which on even n clear day, with no in
tervening figures or smoke, could at
least only see about two miles.
Then again had always supposed, as
am sure most other people suppose, that the
commander in chief always took up posi-
tion where, field glass in hand, he could
action. Gen. Meade'e headquarters were
in slight depression in dense wood,
whence you could see nothing hundred
yards off, and yet strange to say, en- pas-
SAINT, secluded as was this spot, the rebs
had ascertained the locality to q nicely
| and shelled it with such vigor and accu-
racy that in ten minutes no less than six
teen horses belonging to the staff were
killed The officers all escaped unhurt by
| seating themselves under the friendly
| shelter OF huge bowlders of granite, where
they laughed and chntted and enjoyed the
thing as big joke while the shells si,:!eked
and exploded beyond them.-Trank Bel
